The 2007 Major Employers Guide
is Now Available

EDCUTAH has just released its annual Major Employers Guide, the most comprehensive list of Utah companies with 100 or greater employees.

Jessica Turner, research manager for EDCUTAH, says the guide, which is available on CD, may be purchased by phone or fax. Download the order form here, call EDCUTAH (801) 328-8824 and ask for Trina Stanley, or email tstanely@edcutah.org. EDCUTAH investors may purchase the CD for $50. The cost for all others is $85. Data has been compiled in two formats: MS Excel and comma separated value (csv).

“This year, EDCUTAH staff invested additional resources to the project, turning up an additional 200 organizations.” Turner says. There are over 900 businesses listed this year, as compared to approximately 700 in last year’s guide.”

To be listed in the guide, a company must have at least 100 full-time employees working in Utah. Part-time employees and contractors are not included in the count. Turner says the EDCUTAH staff compiles the data from internal research and information gathering, as well as through other reporting sources like InfoUSA data, the Dept. of Workforce Services, and Utah Business Magazine’s Book of Lists.

“We call every business listed to verify the accuracy of the information,” she says. “From what we can tell, this is the most comprehensive and accurate guide of its kind.”

Each company listing includes:

• company name
• address
• phone and fax number
• county location
• name of the highest ranking official
• name of human resources official
• standard industrial code (SIC and NAICS)
• number of employees
• type of operation
• product or service
• year established
• website address
  

Turner says the guide is an excellent resource for businesses that market to other businesses and need to target specific industries, want to increase their supply chains, or want to know the size of their biggest competitors, because the information is especially suited to creating mailing lists and labels. The guide is also a good source of information for job hunters or those who just want to know who the top business leaders are in the state.
